Zynga Poker was once the dominant poker game in the social casino market, but not lately. So Zynga is introducing a new mode, dubbed Spin and Win, within its World Poker Tour Tournament Center in an effort to grab more fans.

This new mode gives players the experience of playing short tournaments and a chance to win payouts of up to 10 times their buy-in by spinning a prize wheel. It’s like combining poker with a prize wheel.
